Around the House
This is probably the easiest and most likely time that a child has to go barefoot on a regular basis. Both while in and outside of the house allows kids a time to be without footwear and not have to worry about the pressures of society. One slight exception to being barefoot at home may be while in the kitchen and working with knives, but even this can be taken care of with close attention and being careful. The invitation to be barefoot can also be easily extended to friends when visiting and help to spread the awareness of the benefits of going without footwear. In colder climates, such as Iowa, blankets can be used to keep warm if needed or just becoming more active will help warm cold feet. Therefore, if not already, leave the shoes and socks off at home and not give them another thought until heading out, and not necessarily even then.
